Looking for ways to boost cognitive function and reduce stress levels? This short video explores the unique hobbies that girls tend to engage in, such as painting, writing, and playing musical instruments. Studies have shown that these creative activities can help to improve cognitive function and reduce stress levels.
“Results indicated that girls were more likely to engage in artistic and creative activities than boys, and that these activities were associated with better mental health outcomes. Specifically, girls who engaged in artistic and creative activities reported lower levels of depressive symptoms, greater self-esteem, and a more positive self-image. Creative hobbies can provide an outlet for self-expression, a sense of accomplishment, and an opportunity to build social connections, all of which can help to reduce stress and improve cognitive function.” (Journal of Adolescent Health, Vol. 50, Issue 2, 2012, pp. 215-221)
